PHILADELPHM: 
WEDNESDAY,  JULY  30,  1834. 

Wo  make  some  further  and  amusing  extracts 
frojn  the  recent  debates  of  the  British  House 
of  Commons.  On  a  motion  for  a  committee  to 
enquire  into  the  means  of  establishing  a  system 
of  National  Education — 

♦'Mr.  Cobbett  rose  for  the  purpose  of  making  rv  few- 
observations  on  the  scheme  of  the  Hon.  and  Learned 
Member  for  Bath.  He  could  not  iielp  fearing'  that  liis 
scheme  would  not  be  productive  of  good,  [a  laugh.] 
Every  one  knew  that  within  the  last  twenty -five  years 
education  had  increased  in  this  country  at  least 
twenty-fold.  Every  one  knew  al.so  that  the  morals  of 
the  people  had  not  mended  within  that  period.  The" 
had  been  assured  to-day,  in  that  House,  that  the  crii..e 
of  drunkenness  had  increased  prodigiously  within  the 
period  in  question,  ^a  laugh.]  The  spread  of  edu- 
cation, therefore,  had  not  suppressed  drunkenness, 
[laughter.]  He  maintaintid  that  our  ancestors  were 
much  better  as  regarded  their  morals,  as  well  as  in 
other  respects,  than  we  are.  Every  one  who  knew 
anything  on  the  subject  knew  this.  Tiie  people  would 
therefore  be  as  well  without  the  intellectual  enjoy- 
ment of  the  Honourable  and  Learned  Gentleman  as 
they  would  be  with  it.  He  had  already  said  that  there 
had  been  a  great  increase  of  crime  along  with  the  in- 
crease of  education.  In  England  and  Wales  crime  had 
increased  within  the  last  quarter  of  a  century  four,  if 
not  seven-fold. 

An  Hon.  Member  here  said  "nine  fold." 
Mr.  Cobbett— Well,  then,  nine-fold,  [laughter,  and 
criei  of  no,  no.  j  It  could  not  at  any  r.ite  be  denied 
that  the  number  of  bastard  children  had  greatly  in- 
creased with  the  spread  of  education,  [laughter.]  It 
had  been  proved  before  a  Committee  of  the  House  of 
Commons,  that  the  moral  restraint  of  the  Honourable 
and  Learned  Gentleman  had  in  that  respect  been 
quite  ineffectual,  [loud  laughter.]  The  crime  of  bas- 
tardy  had,  he  repeated,  increased  to  a  prodigious  ex- 
tent, and  which  did  bodily  and  intellectual  injury  at 
the  same  time,  [laughter.]  The  Honourable  and 
Learned  Gentleman  l.ad  told  them  that  a  system  of 
education  similar  to  the  one  he  proposed  was  now  in 
operation  at  New  York;  tlwt  half  a  million  of  people 
had  received  instrticiion  according  to  this  intellectual 
scheme;  and  that  the  best  moral  eflects  had  resulted 
from  it.  The  Recorder  of  New  York,  he  (Mr.  Cob- 
butt)  must  inform  the  House,  gave  a  very  different  ac- 
count, fie  had  instituted  an  inquiry  into  the  way  in 
whirh  it  operated  on  the  morals  ofllie  people,  bv  .x- 


I  terests  of  the  lawyers  in  preference  to  the  general 
interests  of  the  nation  (he.tr,  hear,  and  cries  of '  no.') 
However  respectable  the  talents  of  that  class  of  gen- 
tlemen might  be,  he  did  not  think  them  quite  worth 
the  sacrifice.  His  own  opinion  was  very  strong  that 
Xhz  House  ought  to  sit  by  day  and  never  by  night,  and 
that  the  business  of  the  niition  would  not  be  done 
jjroperly  until  such  a  change  was  made.  An  im- 
mense quantity  of  the  public  business  was  not  indeed 
done,  but  gone  through  during  the  kte  sittings  at 
night.  It  would  assuredly  be  a  great  loss  to  be  tle- 
prived  of  the  ])res  %  ce  of  the  lawyers,  but  if  the 
question  were  between  their  clients  and  the  public, 
he  should  not  have  much  difficulty  in  deciding. — 
Irish  Members  came  himdreds  and  thousands  of  miles 
from  tlieir  homes  to  attend  their  public  duties,  and 
the  lawyers  might  make  a  slight  sacrifice  if  they 
chose  also  to  the  Members  of  Parliament.  To  tre.\t 
the  matter  otherwise  was  not  paying  sufficient  defe- 
rence to  the  people.  He  hoped  before  he  was  a 
year  ol'ler  that  the  House  would  adop'  lome  regula- 
tion for  doing  business  at  uii  hour  when  it  was  tnins- 
acted  by  all  other  public  bodies.  There  was  notaiuj- 
ther  assembly  in  the  world  where  public  business  was 
dispatched  after  midnight. 

"  Sir  J.  Scarlett  never  meant  (o  make  the  question 
his  own,  or  that  it  should  have  leference  to  himself. 
If  the  House  were  to  sit  in  the  morning  it  would 
not  be  less  infested  with  lawyers,  but  they  would 
he  exclusively  Irish  lawyers  [cheers,  and  laughter]. 

"  Lord  Morpeth  said  the  truth  of  the  case  was,  that 
they  would  never  get  through  the  business  unless 
some  Hon.  Members  would  determine  on  a  little  ab- 
stinence [cluersj  in  the  number  and  length  of  the 
addresses  which  tney  thought  it  their  duty  to  address 
to  the  House. 

"  Sir  _R  Peel  said  he  was  truly  surprised  that 
througliout  this  long  and  destdtory  conversation  no 
Honorable  Members  had  been  found  generous  enough 
to  withdraw  some  of  their  motions  which  stood  for 
Tuesdays  and  Thursdays  [hear,  hear,  hear!]  There 
were  at  least  twelve  or  thirteen  notices  on  the  books 
which  could  be  most  advantageously  postponed  [hear, 
hear!] — usefully  so  for  the  public  interest;  indeed 
he  did  not  know  that  a  more  generous  contribution 
could  be  made  to  the  prosperity  of  the  State  or  the 
exigencies  of  the  public  service  than  their  withdraw- 
al [laughter  and  cheers,]"  ,     ^.  .  .,  "^

honor  to  our  country;  bti'  »'elookfors

Some  most  disorderly  scenes  have  occurred 
in  the  Britisli  House  of  Lords  during  tiie  pre- 
sent session  of  Parliament.  The  last  number 
of  the  London  New  Monthly  Magazine  con- 
tains an  article  of  heavy  censure  upon  the 
offenders,  in  which  Lord  Chancellor  Brough- 
am is  handled  as  follows. 

"  Of  l.:te  we  have  observed — not  on  occasions  few 
and  far  between,  but  frequently — such  a  change  in 
the  character  of  the  discussions  in  the  House  of  Lords, 
as  must,  if  continued,  end  in  a  complete  loss  of  that 
public  respect  which  heretofore  the  House  has  main- 
tained. In  the  discussions  to  which  we  allude,  th';

In  the  8th  and  13th  arrondisements,  no  election 
had  taken  place. 

The  candidates  for  the  10th  arrondisement  were  C. 
Dupin,  (elected,)  Hyde  Be  Ncnrille,  De  Cambaceres, 
Lucien  Bonaparte,  Arago  atul  Care  I. 

An  attache  of  the  Spanish  Kmbassy  at  London,  had 
arrived  at  Paris  with  despatches,  relative  to  the  future 
settlement  of  Don  Carlos. 

The  Duchess  of  Berry  has  recently  signed  an  im- ' 
Bortant  act,  that  of  renunciation  of  "he  guardianship 
of  her  children.     It  was  upon  her  last  visit  to  Prague, 
that  Charles  X.  required  of  her  this  act,  as  the  conse- 
quence of  her  marri.ige. 

The  Swedish  ambassador  has  again  appeared  a\.  \ 
the  Tuileries — a  reconciliation  between  the  two  go- 
vernments having  taken  place.  It  will  be  recollected 
he  hastily  withdrew  from  the  I'rL-nch  court,  in  conse- 
quence of  the  representation  of  a  piece  at  one  of  the 
theatres,  in  which  Uernadotte  w:;3  reflected  upon  ra-

The  market  continues  heavy,  but  the  Threes  have 
nevertheless  improved  slightly.  In  Foreign  Seciui- 
ties  likewise  there  is  little  doing.  For  Money  the 
Fives  have  risen  5c. ;  the  Threes  15c.;  Neapolitan  lOc; 
Cortes  have  fallen  1-2;  Guebliard's  5-8;  Uentes  Per- 
p^tuelles  1-8;  for  the  end  of  the  month  the  Fives 
have  declined  5c.;  Roman  1-8;  the  Threes  have  im- 
proved 20c.;  Belgian  and  Kentes  Perpctuclles  1-4. 

Yesterday  the  King  arrived  at  the  Tuillcries  at  half 
past  11  o'clock,  and  transacted  business  with  the  Mi- 
nister of  the  Finances,  the  President  of  the  Council, 
and  the  Minister  for  Foreign  Allairs.  At  half  past  4, 
his  Majesty  returned  to  Neuilly. 

On  '.Monday,  his  Excellency   Lord  Granville,  and 
yesterday  the"  .Vustrian  Ambassador,  went  to  the  ho-

Of  the  54,000,000  hectares,  contained  in  the  entire 
superficies  of  France,  14,500,000  are  sown  with  corn 
of  different  kinds,  making,  upon  an  average,  one  acre 
for  each  inhabitant.  The  aver.ige  produce  of  the 
whole  is  167,27'1,000  hectolitres;  after  deducting  the 
grain  used  fm-  seed  in  the  distilleries,  for  the  food  of 
domestic  animals,  and  what  is  lost  in  being  coiivc\eil 
from  one  |)lace  to  another,  or  destroyed  by  insects, 
fermentation,  and  other  iiccid-nts,  182  kihiganimos 
of  aliment:iry  matter,  equal  to  one  pound  of  bread  a 
dav,  remains  for  e;»ch  inhabitant.  Hut  as,  in  this  cal- 
culation, there  .are  only  sixty-two  kdogramnies  of 
wheat,  it  results  that  France  'does  not  grow  a  suf- 
ficiency of  this  grain  for  all  her  inhabitants,  who  are 
consequently  obliged  to  supply  the  deficiency  with 
otiier  grain. 

The  nobility  of  the  Roman  Stales,  with  sever.d

should  be  est'iniatf-d  at  8,JJ0,00J  sc.idi,  instead  of  its 
present  amount  of  12,0j0,000  scidi. 

A  letter  from  Komf,  date<l  the  13th  inst ,  states

boMched  at  or  about  the  Fond  du  Lac,  and  though 
there  evidently  appeared  to  be  a  nearer  way  to  the 
Barren  Grounds  than  by  the  circuitous  one  originally 
intended  to  be  followed,  yet  -the  vague  and  uns.iti8. 
factory  answers  of  the  Indians,  together  with  their 
obvious  ignorance  of  the  distance  to  t!ie  Great  Fisli 
River,  made  me  at  once  decide  to  go  by  Great  Slave 
Lake. 

It  was  the  7th  of  August  when  we  landed  at  Fort 
Resolution,  owing  to  the  detentions  incurred  by  send- 
ing to  the  Salt  Plains,  (a  little  to  the  westward  of 
the  Slave  River)  for  a  winter's  stock  of  that  invalua- 
ble article. 

Many  Indians  were  assembled  at  this  trading  post, 
and  their  Chief,  Le  (irand  Jeune  Homme,  was  wait- 
ing my  arrival,  under  a  sort  of  promise  held  out  to 
him  that  he  should  accompany  me.  But  as  I  was 
fully  aware  that  his  services  must  be  purchased  at  a 
greater  rate  than  our  limited  means  could  afford,  and 
that  he  knew  nothing  about  the  country  to  the  east- 
ward, I  was  glad  to  compromise  the  affair,  and  rewaixl 
him  for  his  loss  of  time  by  a  prescirt  of  the  value  of 
40  heaver  skins. 

TiiC  season  wan  adv.inclng  too  fast  to  admit  of  any 
more  delay,  and  being  unable  to  procure  a  guide  to 
the  Thlew-ee-cho-dezeth  from  among  the  Indians, 
not  one  of  wiiom  possessed  a  knowledge  of  its  lo- 
cality or  direction,  I  determined  on  leaving  Mr.M'Leod 
to  bring  the  stores,  while  1  preceded  him  in  a  half 
sized  canoe,  with  a  crew  of  two  *  half  breeds,'  a  Ca- 
nadi:xn,  an  Indian  nud  an  Englishman.  With  this 
motley  and  most  .icke;y  craft  I  commenced  the  sur- 
vey towards  the  north  es.^t.  Our  course  fjrst  lay  in 
the  direction  of  the  Kivi-^r  a  Jean,  and  along  the  low 
swampy  shores  of  t!'f!  '>kv;,  then  across  to  numerous" 
islands,  which  led  us  to  the  north  side  of  the  lake. 
The  scenery  there  was  composed  of  the  the  most 
cr.iggy  and  picturesque  rocks — mostly  primitive,  and 
consisting  of  fles'i-colored  feldspar  and  quartz,  with 
a  few  trees  of  inconsidcraijle  size. 

As  we  athanced,  tiie  appearance  became  mo.'t 
posing,  from  the  circumstance  of  the  granite,  or 
rather  the  last  formation  yielding  to  the  trap,  which 
displayed  itself  in  long  parallel  ranges  of  natural 
precipices,  not  unfrequently  extended  to  the  hori- 
zon. 

In  two  places  the  southern  shore  approaches  with- 
in a  mile  of  the  northern,  and  the  deiroits  thu.s  form- 
ed have  never  been  know  to  freeze. 

More  than  one  island  had  a  coluniner  or  basaltic 
form  on  the  precipitous  or  south  west  side.  Ttio 
water  unlike  the  turbid  yelloi^  We  had  left,  was  now 
of  transparent  blue,  and  so  cold  that  ice  often  forme  J 
during  the  night, 

I  had  now  got  to  lat.  62  deg.  51  min.  40  sec.  N.,- 
and  long.  1U9  deg.  25  min.  W.,  and  could  perceive 
a  I'vng  blue  point  stretching  to  the  S.  E.  which  my 
In.lian  s  ud  we  must  round,  or  miike  a  portage  to  get 
to  the  cas'ern  extremity  of  Gi-eat  Slave  Lake. — 
"  There,"  cuitinued  lie,  "voa  wdlfinda  river  w.hich 
[I  know  not  what  the  Great  Chief  may  do  bi^ti^  we 
who  are  iiorn  here  on  the  *pot  cannot  ascend."  Up- 
on further  i  .(juiry  I  found  h^*  was  riglit,  and  that  some 
1  time  would  oe  sived  by  taking  a  mtire  indirect 
CO  irse,  wh.ch  c<iu'.d  only  bi;  etVeciedby  foll(:sving»ho 
UMceitaiii   trend  ng  of  the     stream    that    he    called 


from  If.  1  he  KccokUt  oi'  New  Vork,  lie  (Mr.  C'ob- 
buti)  must  inform  the  House,  pave  a  very  difl'ereiit  ac- 
count. He  had  instituted  an  inquiry  into  the  way  in 
■whirh  it  operated  on  the  morals  of  the  people,  by  ex- 
aminin{f  a  number  of  tnose  persons  who  hud  been 
convictfd  of  crimes.  He  put  the  educated  criminuls 
on  one  side,  und  the  uneducated  on  another,  nnd  lie 
found  that  the  number  of  educated  criminal.'!  far  ex 
ceeded  those  who  were  uneducated. 

Mr.  Roebuck  here  expressed  his  doubts  of  tlie  ac 
curacy  of  the  statement. 

Mr.  Cobbett  would  pledge  himself  to  prove  to  the 
Honorable  and  Learned  (Jentlcman  that  the  fact  was 
so,  by  producing,  if  he  wished  it,  or  if  the  House 
wished  it,  a  copy  of  the  document  which  the  Ue- 
corder  of  New  York  has  made  out  and  sent  over  to 
this  country,  expressly  for  his  (Mr.  Cobbctt's)  use. 
What  tItiH  country  wanted  was  good  people,  and  not 
gabbling  people  (loud  laughter).  A  boy  would  not 
be  able  to  understand  the  Honorable  and  Learned 
Member's  intellectual  system  untd  he  was  at  least 
sixteen  years  of  age.  liy  this  time  he  would  be  a 
great  boy,  stuffing  himself  with  all  kinds  of  meat 
(laughtei).  Who,  then,  he  should  like  to  know, 
was  to  find  him  in  keep  while  he  was  studying  the 
intellectuHl  system  (renewed  laughter) .'  But  the  Ho- 
norable and  Learned  Gentleman  said  the  boy  might 
labor  during  the  remainder  of  the  day  after  he  was 
done  with  his  intellectual  food.  He  (Mr.  Colibett) 
wished  that  the  Honorable-  and  Learned  Member 
Icnew  a  little  of  what  his  labor  would  be.  He  was 
perfectly  sure  tliat  his  first  work  would  be,  to  go  to 
uleep  (loud  laughter).  He  would  find  his  limbs  too 
stiff  for  ordinary  labor  after  he  had  done  with  the  intel- 
lectiial  system.  He  (Mr.  Cobbett)  was  not  for  deriving 
oup  systems  ofeducition  from  France  or  Uelgium; 
they  are  nothing  to  us;  we  are  nothing  to  them.  Our 
feelings  and  habits  arc  quite  difTerent  from  theirs. — 
Had  the  Honorable  and  Learned  Gentleman  argued 
from  the  case  of  America,  that  would  have  been  one 
point.  The  document  to  which  he  had  already  re- 
ferred, which  he  had  received  from  the  Recorder  of 
New  Yoik,  proved,  as  before  stated,  th.it  education, 
80  far  from  proving  a  benefit  there,  led  to  the  in- 
crease of  crime.  Ue  (Mr.  Cobbett)  would  teach  the 
youth  of  the  country  sonictliing  better;  he  wou'd 
teach  them  to  work.  Learning,  he  was  sure,  was 
very  injurious.  It  was  for  the  L  nefit  of  the  chil- 
dren of  the  poorer  classes  tiiat  he  spoke.  It  was  for 
their  good,  and  not  for  the  gi)od  of  the  rich,  that  he 
spoke.  The  consequence  of  putting  the  cliildren  of 
poor  people  to  school  would  be  to  keep  them  from 
work;  chihh'en  were  never  too  young  to  work.  He 
had  two  boys  under  seven  years  of  age  now  in  his 
employ  to  keep  the  bir  Is  aw.iy  from  the  corn,  and 
each  of  them  received  hidf-a-crown  a  week.  This 
was  of  some  consequence  to  their  fathers;  it  was 
gaining  money  to  them  (laughter).  If  you  send 
the  boys  of  poor  people  to  slip-slop  schotd-mistresses 
—if  you  send  them  to  a  drunken  school-master 
(great  la  ighter)-or,  if  you  se-,\d  them  to  a  conceit- 
ed coxcomb  school-master,  diey  would  not  keep 
birds  away  from  the  corn,  b\it  would  run  and  shelter 
themselves  under  the  hedge  when  the  rain  beg.in  to 
pelt  (loud  laughter).  They  would  be  brougiit  up 
with  such  high  notions,  that  there  would  be  no  use 
of  them  whatever  (laughter).  For  these  reasons, 
therefore,  hp  objected  to  any  system  of  natiomd  edu- 
cation, and  he  would  oppose  the  .Motion  of  the  Ho- 
norable and  Learned  Gentleman."         , 

On  the  13th  ult.  in  :i  debate  on  the  Arrange- 
ment of  Business — 

"Sir  J.  Scarlett  was  opposed  to  the  considcnitinn 
of  .public  business  dm  inir  the  morning  sitting.  If  it 
were  intended  to  banish  professional  men,  such  a 
course  would  be  pursued.  He  tor  one  coidd  never 
be  present,  and  he  had  been  entrusted  with  a  peti- 
tion from  gentlemen  from  Stiny  against  the  bill,  and 
he  h.id  not  yet  been  able  to  present  it.  He  did  not 
think  that  it  was  any  improvement  of  the  old  system 
to  take  public  business  in  the  morning. 

Lord  Althorp  said  that  it  had  been  occasioned  by 
a  desire  to  get  rid  of  a  great  accumulation,  more 
than  was  usual  .it  th's  period  of  the  session. 

Mr.  O'Connell  was  of  opinion  that  the  House  was 
already  sufficiently  infested  with  lawyers  (cheers  and 
iatighter,)  and  it  was  not  fit  that  public  business 
should  be  delayed  because  lawyers  could  not  attend 
(hear.)  It  seems  extraordinary  that  the  House 
should  be  called  upon  to  consider  the  individual  in- 


public  resprjct  which  lu-retotbre  the  House  hiis  main- 
tained. Ii!  the  discussions  to  -.vliich  wo  allude,  the 
dignified  obedience  to  the  rules  of  order  wiiich  hi- 
therto  has  marked  that  House,  the  proud  submission 
to  the  restraints  of  habitual  couite.sv,  the  calm  go- 
vcrnment  of  passion,  the  unruffled  'patience,  which 
examined  even  the  most  excitiitjr  topics  wiiliout  for- 
getting  it,>elf  in  an  intemperate  word — all  these  Ii;f.  c 
disajipearcd,  and  in  their  place  we  have  beheld  ban- 
ter and  ridicule,  when  tiie  gravest  mutters  were  \:n 
der  di.scussion — unseemly  heat  and  violence  in  argu- 
ment, and  sometimes  such  a  clamour,  and  loss  of  self, 
respect,  as  is  seldom  witnessed  in  any  more  dignified 
scene  of  controversy  than  that  at  the  Old  Uailey, 
when  inferior  counsel,  adapting  their  manner  to  the 
taste  of  their  clicnt-s,  endcavom-  to  brawl  themselves 
into  profitable  reputation.  If  discussions  of  this  dis 
creditable  nature  continue  in  the  upper  House  of 
Parliament,  its  character  as  a  superior  deliberative 
assembly  will  be  lost — it  will  be  considered  to  have 
more  than  the  faults  of  the  House  of  Commons,  with- 
out  the  accountability  to  constituents  which  is  a  check 
on  that  assembly,  or  the  temporary  character,  which, 
with  respect  to  tlie  lower  House,  gives  frequent  cp- 
portunity  for  amendment:— it  will  sink  in  nublic  es- 
teem, and  the  inevitable  consequence  of  that  will  be, 
if  long  continued,  that  its  power  and  usefulness  will 
be  at  an  end. 

"  It  is  cspeci.illy  a  mutter  of  regret,  that  the  chief 
mover  in  these  scenes  of  novel  indecorum  in  the 
House  of  Lords  is  the  very  man  who  ought,  by  his 
presiding  care  to  prevent  them  from  taking  place. 
The  Lord  Chancellor  himself  is  the  man  who,  carry- 
ing his  fiery  habits  of  debate,  and  his  love  of  victory 
in  discussion  (without  consideration  of  the  dignity  of 
the  means  he  uses)  into  the  House  of  Lords,  has 
done  so  much,  and  threatens  to  do  so  much  more,  to 
alter  its  cl'.aracter — to  make  it  a  theatre  of  popular 
debate,  with  more  than  the  usual  license  of  such  de- 
bate, instead  of  .sustaining  its  character  as  a  place  of 
grave  deliberation.  The  noble  and  learned  Lord 
has  done  more  than  this, — he  has  set  an  example  of 
contempt  for  the  Peers  around  him,  and  the  general 
tone  and  manner  of  these  proceedings,  witii  the 
coarse  multitude  (not  of  the  .simple  common  people, 
but  the  vain  smattcrers  in  politics)  will  be  most  ready 
to  follow.  The  Lord  Chancell-ir  in  his  careless  de- 
termination to  distinguish  himself,  according  to  the 
peculiar  manner  in  which  his  talents  enable  him  to 
do  so  most  easily,  seems  utterly  to  disregard  the  in- 
jury he  may  do  to  the  character  of  the  asseml)ly  to 
which  he  now  belongs.  The  weapons  which  the 
I.,ord  Chancellor  can  use  with  such  remarkable  pow- 
er and  effect  are  unseemly  in  the  House  of  Lords; 
but  what  cares  he  for  that.'  He  desires  to  astound 
the  House,  and  to  fix  the  attention  of  the  public  by 
the  exliibition  of  his  skill  and  power  in  sarcasm  and 
invective;  and  though  few  things  could  be  more  de- 
rogatory to  the  House  than  such  an  exliibition,  yet 
he  will  rather  make  the  House  and  the  country  un- 
dergo that  penally,  than  refrain  from  this  method  of 
victory  and  display.  NVe  might  point  to  other 
members  of  the  House,  too,  of  diflerent  politics, 
whose  rash  notions  and  boisterous  manner  show  but 
little  sense  of  that  dignity  and  propriety  which  should 
f  be  ever  before  them;  but  from  these  little  harm 
would  be  likely  to  arise,  if  the  authority  upon  the 
woolsack  were  exercised  according  to  the  former 
spirit  of  the  House  of  Lords.  As  it  is,  however,  any 
Peer  who  errs  upon  the  side  of  violence,  is  apt  in- 
deed to  find  an  antagonist  upon  the  woolsack,  well 
pleased  to  enter  the  lists  witli  him,  and  to  encounter 
roars  of  passion  with  roars  of  laugliter;  but  he  will 
not  meet  that  dignified  correction  and  grave  rebuke 
which  would  restore  the  House  to  its  proper  tone  of 
de'  lite,  and  re  assert  the  dignity  of  its  proceedings. 

"Let  it  not  be  supposed  that  we  state  these  things 
in  any  spirit  of  party  hostility  to  Lord  Brougham. 
We  entertain  no  cuch  hostility.  We  know  and 
can  well  appreciate  his  great  abilities — his  astute- 
ness, his  readiness,  his  general  knowledge,  his  wit, 
an<l  his  energy  in  business  and  in  eloquence;  all 
these  we  acknov  ledge,  but  we  are  not  therefore  to 
shut  our  eyes  to  the  consequences  of  his  method  of 
acting  in  the  House  of  Lords— we  arc  not  to  be  blind 
to  the  fact,  that  in  the  exercise  of  his  v.wn  power,  he 
is  sapping  the  fuundation  of  the  power  of  the  House 
of  Peers,  and  brii  giiigdown  in  the  estimation  of  the 
people  the  character  of  that  high  and  noble  assembly. 
There  is  a  proper  sphere  for  such  abilities  iis  those  for 
which  Lord  Brougham  is  ig  distinguished,  and  in

through  the  lallen  ami  entingied  wood  'I'iie  nume- 
rous r:. pills  in  the  river  annoyed  and  delayed  us;  but 
l!ie  next  diy  we  p:issetl  itie  last  woods,  and  entered  a 
largo  lake  in  t'le  liairen  grounds.  The  !at.  of  its 
southern  extreuiUy  is  G>  dt'g.  24  miii.  33  sec.  N., 
long.  108(leg  11  inin.  W.,ora  little  to  the  northward 
of  tlu^  Chesadawd  Lake  of  Hearne,  which,  however, 
is  not  known  b)'  the-  natives. 

In  making  a  succession  of  portages  from  lake  to 
lake,  I  cros.sed  the  same  tri«veller*s  hue  of  route,  and 
fell  on  a  lake  of  such  magnitude  as  to  be  bounded  on 
the  E.  by  E  by  the  horizon.  In  a  N.  E.  direction  it 
led  us  to  a  river,  which  we  went  up,  and  ag.^in  launch- 
ed the  c.inoe  on  another  extensive  sheet  o*"  wa:er. 
We  were  bewildered  several  tim-es  among  the  islands 
and  deep  bays,  still  I  kept  going  to  the  N.  E.  in 
which  direction  I  was  the  more  ;<>*sin'ed  the  river  must 
be,  from  the  general  flatness  of  the  surrounding  land, 
and  pariicuh.rly  from  the  north-west  dip  of  a  few 
s:uul  hills  that  were  occasionally  seen  to  the  north- 
ward. 

After  being  three  days  on  the  same  lake,  I  eniiamp- 
ed  on  some  sand-hills  at  the  bottom  of  the  bar,  and 
despatched  the  men  in  two  parlies  to  look  for  the 
Tlilew-cc-cho-dezeth,  the  s:jurce  of  which  I  acci- 
dentally discovered  while  occupied  in  taking  Bomo 
angles  from  the  smnmit  of  u  iiill. 

On  the  third  day  the  people  returned,  having  fallen 
on  the  river  at  some  distance  from  us.  Tiie  cation 
was  immediately  carried  to  its  stream,  which  is  nar- 
row in  some  piirts,  and  connected  with  a  chain  of 
small  lakes  by  detroits  and  rtipids.  I  could  not  for- 
got giving  my  poor  voyageurs  a  glass  of  gro,;  on  tliis 
occasion,  after  which  gialetul  ceremony  we  [nirsued 
the  inetinderings  of  the  current,  sometimes  with  ice 
on  ^acii  b:i".k,  till  the  Isl  of  September,  when  my 
little  canoe  was  so  shattered,  tlic  nights  were  so 
cold,  the  country  totally  destitute  of  wood,  and  the 
men  fairly  exhausted,  that  I  could  not  with  any  de- 
gree of  prudence  incur  fuither  risk  this  season. 

The  place  whence  1  returned  is  in  latitude  62  deg. 
41  mill.  N.,  and  longitude  108  deg.  13  min.  W., about 
11.5  miles  east  of  Fort  Enterprize,  and  only  109  miles 
from  the  nearest  part  of  Bathurst  Inlet. 

We  had  been  fourteen  days  wUhout  wood)  and  on. 
the  5th  of  Septen^fer  got  to  the**nrst  dwarf  pines, 
about  two  feel  high,  and  on  the  7th  concluded  the 
journey,  by  arriving  at  the  east  end  of  the  Great 
Slave  Lake,  where  I  had  previously  directed  Mr. 
M'Leod  to  commence  the  building  of  our  establish- 
ment. 

The  two  boats  under  Mr.  King  got  to  us  exactly  r 

week  after,  and  it  is  satisfactory  to  state,  that  most  of 

the  stores,  &c.  were  undamageil, 

i      Our  winter  house  I  have  called   •*  Fort  Reliance," 

from  a  feeling  of    dependence  on  that  Providenco 

which  will  support  us  amidst  every  trial  to  which  we 

may  be  exposed,     it  is  situated  on  a  sandy  point  in  a 

,  deep  bay,  which   receives  two  small  rapid  streams 

■  from  the  northward,  and  is  surrounded  by  mountains 

and  red  miceous  granite  and  gneiss.  • 

Fort  Reliance  is  in  lat.  62  deg.  48  min.  15  sec. 
N.,  and  long.  109  deg.  10  min.  W.  the  variation  of 
the  needle  being  25  deg.  41  min.  E.  and  considering 
this  and  the  entra  ice  of  tlie  Mackenzie  R  ver  as  the 
two  extremes  of  t'le  Gre;it  Slave  Lake, it  will  be  found 
to  equal  Lake  Michigan  in  length  and  may  therefore 
be  considered  as  tlie  second  largest  lake  in  America. 
I  I  have  a  very  compact  obscrva.  Jry  built  where 
the  needle  is  performing  its  diurnal  functions  with 
more  or  le-ss  rogiilarily,  accordmg  to  the  appe«ranc« 
of  the  aurora,  or  other  atmospheric  plienomena  Tba 
dip,  nvignetic  force,  &c.  have  also  been  ascertained j 
nor  all)  i  coii-icious  of  having  omitted  atiy  thing  that
